New historical biography on Audible

 

My latest recording debuted on Audible yesterday. This one is a historical biography -- The Muse of the Revolution: The Secret Pen of Mercy Otis Warren and the Founding of a Nation by Nancy Rubin Stuart. Timely for the 250th birthday of the U.S.

"Mercy Otis Warren (1728-1814), America’s first woman playwright and historian, was the fiery wife of a Massachusetts patriot and the mother of five sons who secretly authored influential anti-British plays that helped spark the American Revolution.

During the early Federal period she, penned an influential pamphlet arguing for a Bill of Rights, and in 1805, wrote the only Jeffersonian – democratic interpretation of the Revolution, the History of the Rise, Progress and Termination of the American Revolution."

To listen to the sample and/or purchase the book, head to Audible here.
